Nerd alert

The apprentice and RRMK2 were banished to the garden today as it was a glorious spring sunshine type day. Yours truly thought it was quiet, always suspicious, so located the apprentice reading in the swing chair

while RRMK2 was blatantly reading by the pond.

Hardly what I expected so after a brief chat they agreed that reading was for indoors and they would play on the trampoline.

Five minutes later...
 

Smile please

I tried to get a pic of all 9 of our Berners together.... nearly made it 

 

Mother and Son

 Elf our little tri paw and her son Sven who is a huge smiley bear of a berner.

Ripley

I was doing various jobs around the plot today and as usual I had a K9 audience

Ripley now aged 9 

kept me in view

no matter where I was

or what

I was doing.
 

Footwarmer

Spotty2 keeping my feet the right temperature
 

us and them..

The pup in front is Dora, from the class of 2018.

Ripley again

meditating.

 

Golden boys

I like to tell people who ask that these three handsome dudes are golden retrievers. 

Partly right

they are in fact 

golden berners, a bernese retriever cross. Super dogs, very intelligent and quite a bit sturdier than your standard goldie.

Here the triplets are on top of the bonsai mountain braving storm Francis.

At the moment 5 out of the 6 from the litter are at Rock HQ, two have come back for holidays. 

If possible

Ill post a pic of all 5.
 Don't hold your breath though. 

Clan update

As the dog blog has been dormant for a while its probably a good idea to update the reader on who is here now and whats happened to the 54 plus pups out there that are direct descendants of Rocky and Reba.

At present we have 9 of the clan here 

most related to Rocky and Reba in some way except for this gorgeous girl, Holly who was a rescue.

 So when time allows Ill tell you who Darcy is related to. 

Bed maker

 

Hard life

 

And relax....

This is Elf our tri paw berner found taking a snooze

guarding the TV remotes

 and making full use of the quilt.

Clever lad

It might be a flower bed lovingly planted with flora, but to Spotty2 its an ideal cool bed

 once he's turfed out all the green stuff. 

Storm chaser

This is Mrs Bear the action Berner

aged 10

having a ball

on the summit of the bonsai mountain

 watching me watching the gathering storm.

Takeaway food

Spotty2 and aunty Ripley carried their own snacks home on todays walk

 Personally I prefer biscuits.
